Nutrition & Wellness

Optimize your health from the inside out. Our functional nutrition approach uses advanced testing and targeted supplementation to address underlying imbalances, restore vitality, and build the foundation for lasting wellness.

The Functional Nutrition Approach

Conventional nutrition advice is generic. Dr. Lankering practices functional nutrition, recognizing that optimal health requires understanding YOUR specific biochemical needs, genetic predispositions, dietary tolerances, and health goals.

Rather than following one-size-fits-all diet trends, we use advanced functional testing to identify nutritional gaps, food sensitivities, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic dysfunction. Then we create a precise nutritional roadmap designed specifically for your body and your goals.

Advanced Testing

Micronutrient analysis, food sensitivity testing, digestive function markers, hormone profiles, and metabolic indicators reveal your body’s specific needs.

Dietary Analysis

We evaluate your current diet, identify nutritional gaps and inflammatory foods, and understand your lifestyle to design an eating plan you can actually sustain.

Targeted Supplementation

Rather than generic multivitamins, we recommend specific high-quality supplements addressing your identified deficiencies and health goals.

Ongoing Monitoring

We track your progress, adjust protocols based on results, and help you maintain the nutritional foundations that keep you thriving long-term.

Dr. Lankering uses cutting-edge functional medicine testing to reveal the nutritional foundation of your health. These tests go far beyond basic bloodwork to measure:

Micronutrient Analysis

Vitamin D, B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, selenium, antioxidant capacity—exact levels for optimal function.

Food Sensitivity Testing

IgG antibody response to foods reveals hidden sensitivities causing inflammation and digestive complaints.

Digestive Function Panel

Stomach acid production, digestive enzyme levels, intestinal permeability markers, and beneficial bacteria balance.

Metabolic & Hormone Markers

Blood sugar stability, insulin sensitivity, thyroid function, sex hormone balance, and stress hormone patterns.

Inflammation Markers

hs-CRP, omega-3 index, and other measures of systemic inflammation guide anti-inflammatory nutritional protocols.

Heavy Metal & Toxin Screening

Identify accumulated heavy metals and xenobiotics requiring targeted detoxification and nutritional support.
